Re: Adele 2012

That said, I don't think her style works too well in festivals like Coachella.

I don't see why it wouldn't. There have been a few artists like her that have played Coachella and pulled it off just fine.

The "no festivals" thing must have become a thing when she became more popular. I saw her perform at Bonnaroo 2008 to a 20-percent-full Gobi-sized tent. She was alright. It was a somewhat pleasant way to get some shade early in the day.

Yeah, it would work if she was playing a tent, but her name and current success (fee) would have her near the top of the billing. I just couldn't see her performing on a Main Stage or Outdoor Stage because her style is quite introverted.
I will have a guess she will headlining the Hollywood Bowl next summer, given the huge demand for her last tour.

Re: Adele 2012

She's had the best selling album of the year thus far, hasn't she? I can see her getting sub-headliner billing. As nice as her albums are, she seems like such a dull live performer, though. Everything's so insular with her.

Re: Adele 2012

"The voice behind the hottest-selling album of the year, Adele, has been forced to cancel her sold-out 10-date U.S. tour due to a hemorrhage to her vocal cord.

That's the second time this year that vocal cord issues have forced the British singer, whose "21" is this year's biggest-selling album in the U.K. and the United States, to postpone dates.

Adele had just wrapped a U.K. tour and was prepared to launch her U.S. tour Friday, Oct. 7, in Atlantic City, when doctors advised the star that she'll need an extended rest period to recuperate properly."
